I'm trying really hard to get my heart set on tdf this year. It's hard though with all the stuff that's happened and is still happening around here.

Teams joined: SHERlocked, Into the Whirled, Tardis, Stashbusters, and Peloton. I might join Hopelessly Overcommitted but it seems to me that by the time you get to the point you should join that one you are all ready doing to much in everything else.

Spinning: ITW's Doctor Who series. Snow Angles with an Ood x2, Mercy Hartigane, Bigger on the Inside, and Children of Time. Also, Pickin and Spinnin's Doctorin' Up the Tardis. Some undyed baby alpaca for "John's Sweater."

Goals: To spin and post every day.

Training: I have GOT to get the kids year end portfolios completed and sent out before the 30th of this month.
Organize my stash and figure out what I want to spin.
Decide on what teams I'll be spinning for.
Pre draft fiber before it gets too bloody hot to do it.

Mix and freeze: 28 batches of bread, 4 batches of rolls, 6 batches pie crust, 3 batches granola bars, 2 batches cookies, and 4 batches of pizza dough to freeze. Baggie up: 4 batches muffin mixes, 4 batches 'hamburger helper' mixes, and 2 cake mixes. Plan 93 meals and pre-make anything I can that I haven't all ready thought of so I'll have as little food prep going on in July as I can.

Get the house in a state of cleanliness that would let me ignore it, for the most part, for the month. Yikes!

Find some interest in doing any of the above.

I detest pink and color combinations that look like Walt Disney threw up on them.

And now you know.

Not much to say.

So, moving forward:

TDF time again, or almost. Time to take stock in my stash and try to narrow down the list of teams I want to join.

UPDATE:I have over 130 pounds of fiber (again)in various states of spinning readiness. I'll be joining the STASHBUSTERs group for sure.
For Ravelympics I'm thinking of getting my Summer granny square afghan finished, or putting a major dent in Andy's afghan. Maybe I'll work on both to keep from getting bored.

Update on the Summer Garden afghan

I tore apart 12 squares to remove the dark purple (C did one for me to make 13). I originally used that color to use up the yarn, like the other colors, but the one square I finished that didn't have purple in it was so pretty that I decided to make all of them like that.

Now I only have 4 completed squares but, overall, they look much nicer.

Spinning is a great stress reliever

FatCatKnits Sept 2011 fiber club- Country Roads
BFL 222 yards sport weight

Pretty crappy spinning job on this one but I just wanted to de-stress and not care.

Fiber Fancy All You Need Is Love Beatles club Jan 2012 coordinating braid.
Again, not the best spinning, but....

Superfine BFL 220 yards sport weight

Woolgathering's Club, BFL March 2012

BFL, 272 yards, fingering weight.
This has got to be one of the most beautiful colorways I have ever played with. I need to take it outside and get some decent shots.

On the wheel now is

Spunky Eclectic July 2011 club- Headache in Wensleydale. Again, I need to get this outside for a decent shot. Picture These colors on the bobbin. (hint- the purple is on the left)

It's quite ridiculous how fond I've become of these little squares.

And, because I can't work on just one (or 4) things at a time, there's this.

Several years ago I started an afghan but didn't get very far because I wasn't happy with the way it was turning out, so I'm unraveling it and turning it into nalbinded dice bags. I figure it's good practice until I'm ready to make mittens or a full sized bag.
